WAYSIDE  FLOWERS. 


PREFACE,   SERIES   IV. 


JN  the  latter  part  of  summer  and  in  the 
coming  of  autumn,  there  is  a  general 
mingling  of  the  tall  weeds  which  have 
just  attained  their  full  growth,  with  some 
of  the  little  ones  which  have  lingered  on  the  by-way 
since  early  summer. 

In  August  the  yellow  flowers  of  the  wild  Indigo, 
give  place  to  the  crowding  yellow  plumes  of  the 
golden-rod.  The  little  milkwort  is  fading  now,  and 
the  Brunella  fails  to  show  its  sumptuous  purjjle 
heads  which  were  so  conspicuous  in  July. 

There  is  a  change  afoot  —  the  evening  primrose 
is  past  its  prime,  the  lingering  blue-bells  show  a  few 
last  touches  of  purple  on  the  borders  of  the  rocky 
pasture,  and  the  yellow  of  the  Hypericum  is  fading. 
Then  ci.nne  the  goldenrods  and  asters  in  countless 
numb  *  ,nd  infinite  variety,  and  finally  the  bright 
gentians  ind  up  the  floral  procession  with  the  blue 
of  heaven,  and  the  fringes  of  Juno's  eyes.  Perhaps 
the  Autumn  dandelion  puts  a  period  at  the  end  of  the 
gentian's  march,  but  it  is  hard  to  tell  which  is  the 
last  flower.     In  different  parts  of  the  country  the 


procession  changes  its  order  and  its  character.  But 
of  one  thing  we  may  be  sure,  the  flowers  of  the  witch- 
hazel  will  linger  until  the  first  flurry  of  snow. 

My  list,  which  includes  only  a  hundred  or  so  flowers, 
may  not  seem  a  very  extensive  one,  but  the  selection 
is  marked  by  distinguished  characters.  There  are 
undoubtedly  many  other  flowers  which  are  equally 
entitled  to  our  attention,  but  this  collection  will  serve 
as  a  good  introduction  to  inosc  less  common  species 
in  which  we  will  soon  become  interested  after  famil- 
iarity with  our  present  list  is  a.'isured.  It  is  never 
best  to  rush  swiftly  along  the  path  of  knowledge ; 
something  is  sure  to  be  overlooked.  It  is  often 
wisest  to  suggest  to  the  student  a  little  bit  of  leisure 
study.  To  master  a  knowledge  of  a  hundred  flowers 
is  a  fair  and  sound  beginning. 

This  wild  flower  series  will  be  followed  later  by 
a  series  of  one  hundred  trees  which  will  include 
all  the  native  species  common  in  the  middle  and 
North-eastern  Stotes.
